Dock is drastically different and no guest login option after power loss
Folks, forgive if this is addressed elsewhere. I am fairly new here.
I am running a MacBook with 10.5.8. I have been having some battery/power issues lately which I thought was resolved with a new battery. Today, my machine shut down while plugged in and a purported "79% battery" left. It has done this perhaps 2 other times in the last year or so.
When I got the machine to completely boot, there was no longer a "guest login" option which I remember setting months ago. Also, my dock had large icons, many icons for programs I run everyday were missing. All of my applications, files, etc. seem to be intact. It is as though the machine has re-set to default settings. Why did this happen? Can I go back to my old settings somehow?
Thank you!
Dani
There is no prevention or network proceedure that would prevent that matter. The correct way to fix that problem after a storm will be to disconnect everything, power units down for 15 to 20sec.(router & modem), power units back up, once units come back up to normal fuction connect the modem back to router, then connect pc to router and reboot. That should establish your connection back after power outage.

How do I disable the GUEST login option at start up screen
how do I disable the GUEST login option at start up screen.
I have already gone to
System Pref'>Users and Groups>Unlocked it with password>Guest User is OFF>Allow guests to log into this computer is NOT CHECKED,
however I still have that GUEST USER selection on the login screen.Hello Leopardus,
having read other post concerning this issue
Re: Removing Guest User icon from login page
dated all the way back to 2012, I have decide to leave well enough along and not let the GUEST button bother me.
I rarely if ever take my Mac out of the house so I have not given much thought to theft or loss, but, in the event of it leaving my house by another way, the slim possibility of recovering it is worth the annoyance, I'll get over it.
Thank you all. -
IOS 6 and Cisco guest login safari issues
Hi all,
I have been having issues with my Cisco m10 wifi router which has been installed at home and the same model at my beauty salon.
It seems that with iOS 6, Safari will not allow a login page to display for guests to log on.
I have been searching for a solution and the problem continues. Autofill has been disabled, I have changed a few settings on the router (found in another forum)
The problem persists!
One thing I have found though is, if I use Google chrome the browser goes right to the login screen! I therefore presume it is an issue with Safari.
The problem is no issue at home, but at my salon it would require that every client come in and load Chrome first! The only way to do that is to first enter my secure non guest side of my network download chrome and then go back into the guest side and run chrome in order to login .
This makes no sense at all. Along with this, after a chrome login, safari will then work on the login.
Please Apple what is the most simple solution?First of all, you won't get answers from Apple here. These forums are only user-to-user, like you and I.
Did you try reloading the page in Safari when you launched it? I don't get the login screen unless I reload the page first.
If you have to, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all of the Wi-Fi data on your iThing, such as router passwords, Auto-Join, etc, which might remove network-joining glitches on your iDevice. Just know your router password (if you have one) before you do this, as you will have to enter it again.
Hope I helped! -
How do I remove the guest login option?
When I turn on my computer, it shows that a guest could get onto the internet without a password. I don't want this to happen. I tried disabling the guest account from the settings but it still shows up. Why is this???
Take a look at the iCloud settings and "Find My Mac" to learn more about this special "guest" account.

Spotlight indexing drive and beach balls in Itunes after Power Outage.
Hi, My Mac Pro is hooked up to a battery backup. Last night we had a wind and rain storm and the power went out. The mac stayed on about 10 minutes before it shut down. The power went back on the next morning. When I put my Mac Pro on spotlight began to re-index my second internal drive. It took about 10 minutes to complete. I assumed that it had already indexed. When I plugged my Iphone into my Mac to charge, itunes opened and I kept getting beach balls until the Iphone synced. I never had this before. I opened disk utility and performed a repair permissions. Should I be concerned? Thanks

All button and touch pad not working except power button
I face the problems that all button and touch pad not working after power on or wake up from sleep state except power button. And i have make the system sleep and wake again so that the mac book air can working as normal( mouse can move and button got response).
Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook. -
Default Subportal and Guest Login
We need to restrict the Guest login to not access anything in our Portal. This is a business requirement.
We are thinking of applying a no-navigation scheme to the Default portal to accomplish this requirement.
This approach would lock down the Plumtree "Administrator" user as well. We would still have a Administrator's group assigned to a different Subportal.
Is this the correct approach to take? If not, what is the recommended method?Thanks for everyone's insight into this. I have disabled the guest access(in j_config.xml since we are using the Java version of Portal.) and it works well.
I have a question for Michael. I was able to find the Administrator PT user, however it exist in the \Admin Objects Directory\Default Subportal folder. However I can view it. So, if I can't view it how do I move it to another folder? I apologize if it is a newbie question.
We do plan to apply a custom null-nav to the default subportal and it would be great if we can move the administrator to another folder with a different subportal. Do the guest and administrator belong to the same subportal/folder. Can we move the guest to another subportal with the custom null nav and keep the administrator as is? -

Issue:
Cisco firewalls require only one level of password i.e. the domain username and password are used for both logging in as well as reaching global configuration mode.
Background:
We have multiple Cisco network devices set up which authenticate to our Windows domain controller using NPS (Windows 2008 R2). The switches we have set up all function exactly as we would hope as they require your domain username and password to login to the device. They then require a separate password when you use the enable command, this is stored in Active Directory:
Switches:
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
SWITCH>enable
Password:enable-password-in-Active-Directory
SWITCH#
Firewalls (as they currently are):
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL>enable
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL #
With the firewalls however, they require your domain username and password first, and then your domain password again when using the enable command. I want the firewalls to use the enable level password that the switches currently use instead of the domain password again. The current configuration look like the following:
Current switch configuration:
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group radius local
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius local
aaa session-id common
radius-server host 192.168.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server key 7 1234abcd
Current firewall configuration:
aaa-server DC01 protocol radius
aaa-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
aaa authentication ssh console DC01 LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console DC01 LOCAL
key 1234abcd
Any help would be great, thanks!Cisco ASA works that way by design. You could remove "aaa authentication enable" and then you could use the "enable password" command to set your enable password.
But if you do that, then ASA would change your username to "enable_15". That would break Authorization and Accounting if you're using them. Let me clarify with an example
Firewalls :
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL>show curpriv
Username : domain-username
Current privilege level : 1
Current Mode/s : P_UNPR
FIREWALL>enable
Password:enable-password-from-running-config
FIREWALL #show curpriv
Username : enable_15
Current privilege level : 15
Current Mode/s : P_PRIV
If you're using Authorization and Accounting it's recommended to stick with your current behavior. -
ISE with CWA and wired guest access via WLC Anchor
Can an Anchor WLC (WLCa) provide a wired guest LAN service if the wlan guest access is using CWA?
We are deploying a WLAN only ISE solution (it is a full license ISE though) but they just want a few wired guest ports. I was hoping to add L2 switch to the DMZ where the WLCa is and that the L2 switch wouldnt need any other config as the WLCa just bridges the wired to the wlan vlan. This Im sure i have done before.
So now I have set wiredguest the same as i have done before ISE and my wired clients get an IP address, but when they redirect, the URL they get is different, and the redirect just doesnt work.
It comes out as:
https://my_ise_ip:8443/guestportal/Login.action?switch_url=https://my_ise_host/login.html&wlan=my_wired_guest_lan&redirect=www.google.co.uk
So does my simple L2 only switch need an ISE config on it or should the WLCa be handling or the redirection just as it would for a wlan device.The ISE never receives an auth entry, so i dont believe the redirect is working for the wired client. So even though the clients browser gets a redirect url which fails connection, the client info in the WLCa doesnt have a redirect ACL listed like a wlan client would

SDDM guest login, transition to KDE Framework
Hi,
I am preparing the Transition to KDE Frameworks and as a first step I want to install SDDM, as suggested here.
Some time ago I set up an Ubuntu-style guest-account or guest-login with KDM/KDE4 and would like to keep that in SDDM. A home directory is set up on a temporary file system on kdm start (as root before login dialog appears, see below), and cleaned/recreated after each logout. I copied it from here. Now the question:
Is it possible to do that in SDDM?
There is an entry "Guest-login" on a TODO page of SDDM at github, which is about half a year old. So don't know if that has been implemented or not. Do you know?
Also, there is a Wishlist entry on the SDDM github site, which seems to request just what I need. There it is suggested to use pam_mount and systemd (auto)mount units in a user-session, but I'm not sure if that would help in my problem?
Currently I'm calling a script "guest-account" (see below) in /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup. Xsetup is looks like:
#! /bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears
/root/scripts/guest-account add
And /usr/share/config/kdm/Xreset looks like:
#! /bin/sh
# Xreset - run as root after session exits
if [ $USER = 'guest' ];
then
/root/scripts/guest-account remove guest
/root/scripts/guest-account add
fi
The script guest-account (found it here) looks like:
#!/bin/sh -e
# (C) 2008 Canonical Ltd.
# Author: Martin Pitt <[email protected]>
# License: GPL v2 or later
# modified by David D Lowe and Thomas Detoux

When I turn on my iMac it comes up with the login icons which I then choose and log into. The password works and I then get the apple icon and the spinning wheel. After about a minute the Apple icon turns into a prohibited icon. However, if I log in under the guest icon, I can access the wifi and get to Safari. I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Are you running any A-V? If it's an iMac 21.5, I don't think you're running Leopard, 10.5. Probably at least Snow Leopard, 10.6. This is the Leopard forum.
This article says meant for 10.3.9 and eariler, but contains some still useful suggestions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1411
Try a Safe Boot. Shift at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot. This will bring you to a login screen with "Safe Boot" in red.
Look at this as well.

Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice. Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time. Under Login Options, I clicked out "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password". Can't remember whether I did anything else. I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change. I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids. I clicked on any one and nothing happens. IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook. There must be a way to fix this problem. I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter. Please help!First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

How do I transfer an iphoto library from a guest login to either another login or a thumb drive?
I am letting a friend use my computer as a surrogate for the time being to backup her phone and photos. I had never used the guest login before and didn't realize that all the files would be lost at logout. I haven't logged out yet but I need help trying to get the iphoto library onto a thumb drive. If at all possible I would like to get the backup from itunes as well.
I have already copied all of the photos out of iphoto but that doesn't save the time, date and location of them. I cannot access the folder to move the iphoto library because of it being in the guest login. I have already deleted the photos off of the phone so that is a no go.
I've been trying to search for an answer but haven't had any luck yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.have already copied all of the photos out of iphoto but that doesn't save the time, date and location of them.

Guest Login feature in SRM 7.0
Hi,
How do we use Guest Login feature in SRM 7.0? Requirements are given below.
1. Purchaser publishes Public RFx.
2. In Conpany's web portal, link is given as "Open Tender-Click here" to enable one time bidder to participate in the Open tender.
3. A new bidder who is not registered as bidder in the organisation would like to participate in the Bidding. He clicks on the above link in the organisation's web portal which will login as "Guest" and direct him to the SRM portal where the Bidder can see public tender Bids.
4. He opens the Bid and analyse the details. Then he can decide to participate.
5. Then either ROS can be used or conventionally he can send mail to the organisation requesting to be a Bidder.
I heard some custom developments are done in few projects with custom screens. But can we achieve the same in a standard way. If developments are required, then complexities involved or process involved in the developments.
Regards,
PrasannaHi Vineela,
According to my information this BADI still exists.
There was a note that entered this BADI into SRM 6.0
1158310 SOCO: Missing BADI in search (first screen)
In SRM 7 this code is here, you could have a look and set BP in /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_DOM_SOCO_GAF1~SEARCH
to check what is happening, it may be something small.
There is nothing on our database about other customers with similar complaints.
The method you would need for sourcing is
IF_EX_BBP_WF_LIST~BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew
